Zacharia Begins White House Press Role Under Trump Administration

Katie Zacharia became the Trump administration's sixth White House press secretary on Tuesday after Karoline Leavitt's departure, taking the role in Washington to communicate the president's agenda and serve as the administration's official spokesperson.

Zacharia said her new position would continue work she had done outside government, where she supported Trump's political messaging. She outlined her goal during her first appearance as press secretary.

"I get to do what I was doing on the outside already, which was hoping to amplify, multiply and expand upon President Trump's incredible agenda for the American people." said Katie Zacharia, White House press secretary.

The new press secretary also described Trump's role in shaping the administration's public message, indicating that he would remain central despite her appointment as the official spokesperson.

"is his own best spokesperson and will absolutely be leading the way." said Katie Zacharia, White House press secretary.

Zacharia took over the position after Leavitt left in late August, becoming the latest person to hold the press secretary role during Trump's administration.
